Are there any non-edgy ways to display a wooden sword?

My dad died from COVID a few years back and I got a bunch of his stuff, in it was this wooden japanese sword thing, which looks kinda like this one. I think he was really into Kendo as a kid.

I don't want to get rid of it as it's one of the few things I have from him, but at the moment it's just sitting propped up in a corner of my home office. I'd like to put it on the wall or something, but also I don't want to be one of those guys who mounts a japanese sword on the wall as that veers into edgelord territory.

So, does anyone know of a non-edgy way of displaying a (wooden) sword?

I would only start to worry about looking like an edgelord/weeb/mall ninja with an actual metal sword. No one on the planet is going to get that idea from a bit of Kendo equipment. People might be confused why it's there, especially if you don't do Kendo, but just explain it to them if they ask. Or don't.

At some point, it's your house. Life has enough arbitrary bullshit to offer without worrying about things like this. Just hang it wherever you want, however you want. Act like you're the only person in the world when you do it.
